When moving image folders from one drive or location to
another, I may or may not be able to move it. After
viewing an image, or working with it, I have a need to
move the entire folder to another computer. When I do so,
the move command moves all of the files to the new
location (into a folder of the same name) but refuses to
take the original folder there also. I get a popup dialog
box that tells me that the images files are in use and it
cannot be moved. It ends up being a hybrid move.

I end up with an empty folder in the original location
and the only way I can eliminate the folder is to reboot
my computer.

How can this be stopped?
 
I forgot: add the fact that I cannot rename an image file after it has been
manipulated in a program such as photoshop. When I try, I get the same
message. Again, I must reboot in order to rename the image files. This
doesn't seem to be a problem with any file other than my image files. Also,
it doesn't matter if the files are jpegs, tiffs, PSDs or whatever.
